Hi Gary.
If you run adsense on a website with little content except a few headings, then the Adsense adverts you get are going to reflect those headings. In your case, a set of headlines leading to sites relevant to Cornish dating, property etc.
The ads will have been placed by people and companies who already have websites that have the information about Cornwall that they are looking for.
Anyone who visits your site looking for information is going to click on those ads and leave your site, pausing only to curse you for putting an uncecessary click between them and the sites they were really looking for. They are unlikely ever to return. You have made a few pence.
In the meantime any potential advertiser visiting your site will note three things -
1. No content.
2. You are proposing that they take out a very big advert, but you don't have any takers at all.
3. There is a lot of competition on your site from adsense.
I don't think you have given anyone any value so unless you can come up with some way of driving a huge amount of traffic to your site I think your aim of trousering fifty quid by the end of September is very optimistic indeed. If you get the click through rate and payout that I get on my website you will need to pull in around 10,000 visits to generate you target. That is around 150 a day. One every 10 minutes.
I happened to visit Cornwall for the first time last month. It is a lovely county. It would be great if someone were to create a website that showcased the county. Why not focus on doing that first and then look at ways you can make money out of it.
